Hello eostre,

Thus wrote eostre ([email protected]):

Much to my surprise it seems the domain is now occupied by a generic tech help blog (if one can call it that, the content seems almost AI-generated). I can't imagine this was intentional, given that the docs & rumpkernel.github.io still point to rumpkernel.org.

Thanks for your heads up.

It's more a case for the netbsd-docs people to remove the reference than 
a direct security issue; rumpkernel.org was not registered by the NetBSD
Foundation and judging by who has it registered now, was not renewed and
thus lapsed.

AI generated content may very well be true, the current registrant
"catches" lapsing domains and hopes to sell them back for a nice "fee" in
those cases where the failure to renew was unintentional.
